5760, IEN'Il'lRlE Nous ,.....Qm Varsity Football Tl1e football season of 1931 ended another successful one fo1' Somerset High School. Honor and glory were again brought to Somerset High School by the Orange and Black gridders. The team, playing against one of tl1e hardest schedules in years, emerged with the record of six vic- tories, two ties, and two defeats, The team displayed good football in every game, and was never held scoreless. One of the high lights of the season was a 27-27 tie with ,Johnstown Catholic High in Somerset's first appearance at the Point Stadium. Somerset also experienced her first game of night football when she met VVestmont at the Point on Armistice night. The football season ended in a blaze of glory when Captain lllorocco led the team to a 28-6 victory over our ancient rival, llleyersdale High, on Thanksgiving Day. All but two regulars will be lost by gradua- tion for next year, but with a wealth of reserve material Somerset will be able to put another good team on the gridi1'on next fall.

769- Q.. lEN'll'lPlIE Nous The National Honor Society A valuable asset to Somerset High School is tl1e National Honor Society which has as its cardinal principles: character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The society being rather exclusive, since it consists of only 15oZ7 of the Senior Class and 505 of the Junior Class, aims to create in the minds of the pupils a desire for better character, an incentive for scholar- ship, a stimulant for worthy leadership and a motive for rendering service. Blembership is granted by a vote of the faculty, and those thus elected are required to adhere to the four ideals if they wish to remain as permanent members. At present, the officers of this chapter of the National Honor Society in- clude Jaek Fluck, president, ltlary Carter, vice-president, Irene Baltzer, secretary and Bliss Long felected from the faculty councilj, treasurer. These oHicers have done well in maintaining the cardinal principles of the society and the aim of every member should be to exemplify these princi- ples: KIn the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Lifef, The membership is as follows: Class of 1932fJ ack Fluck, lNIary Carter, Joe Caseio, Wilma ltlosholder, VVilliam Lambert, Irene Baltzer, Lucille Kimmel, Nelson Shaulis, Josephine lXIiller, VVilliam Ayers, Nedra Kramer. Additional Seniors and several Juniors will be elected at the close of the school year. The faculty sponsors include hir. Ringler, lXIiss Long and Miss Snyder. -esgf 26 glam-

769- 11. Emrlalt Nous Varsity Basketball The basketball season of 1931-32 resulted in an unusually successful one for Somerset High School. This season,s team holds the distinction pf turning in the best record ever made by any Somerset High School basketball team. The team is credited with the remarkable record of eleven victories and only five defeats. This fine record earned and merited our team the position of third place in the Somerset County Conference. This season marked the first time, since the organization of the Somerset County Con- ference, that Somerset High School has ever been represented in the Somerset County P. I. A. A. tournament. This season's team also has the honor of being the first Som- erset High School basketball team ever to defeat Bleyersdale on ltleyersdalels own floor, as well as defeating them twice in the same season. The biggest surprise of the season came in the Somerset P. I. A. A. tournament when the undefeated Boswell five required three extra periods to defeat our team by a count of 25-21. This successful season is attributed largely to our new gymnasium, the fine teamwork of our players, efficient coaching of Nlr. Livengood and hir. Lloyd, and the loyal support of our student body who cheered the team on to victory for defeatl. Although all the regulars will be lost to the team by graduation, the fine showing of the reserve team during the season as- sures us of another good team next season.
